I dunno, polls show that older people are consistently more conservative than younger people in a way that you'd be very hard-pressed to chalk up to statistical noise.
I think (white) boomers did have a significantly different experience compared to every other generation irt to access to material wealth, but I believe this is strictly US phenomena lol (Mexico doesn't have this overwhelming conservative slant among old people, at least not in electoral terms). Then again, it is significant enough as to not be a completely useless I suppose.
Yeah, its a phenomenon brought on by material conditions, not something inherent to people born around the same time.
